Arraignment hearings further postponed in Lequiere case

The arraignment hearings for two people accused in the stabbing death of Josh Lequiere have been further postponed.

Dupas is charged with second degree murder in Lequiere’s death on May 20. He now has another lawyer, his third since the court proceedings began. It was determined his next appearance would take place in two weeks, to give time for the new lawyer to review all the case’s material.

His next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 21 at 1:30 p.m.

Pamela Joy Moore also appeared by video link in the courtroom. She has been charged with being an accessory after the fact.

Her next court appearance has been postponed one week. She is expected back in court on Dec. 14 at 1:30 p.m.
